I just picked up my 30 cm Togo and I believe it's the perfect size for me, since I'm only 5' and can't really get away with a 35 cm as a handbag. I would probably get one in 35 later for traveling or carrying my files, but only after I get a couple more colors in 30 cm (possibly exotic, too.... :idea:.... wishful thinking, hehe).
 
Anyone here who is 5 foot 9 inches (give or take) using a 30cm? For a hand-held bag, I like to be able to maneuver through a crowd without worrying about banging into everyone. I have a Whitebus and it's a nice size - not to big or too small. just wondering if the 30cm Birkin would suit me. I am a size 12. So as much as that 30cm looks good on Melania ***** a few pages back, I have to remember I'm considerably curvier.
 
I prefer the 30cm. I'm 5'7 and a size 8. I like that the 30 is more like a handbag instead of a tote. I don't have either size yet but just from trying them on I think I'd get a 30. :smile1:
 
I prefer 30cm. It's the same thing as using any large bag, if you have larger bag, you tend to put more unnecessary stuff in it and carrying it around will cause you pain. With smaller bag, you will be more efficient in using it, it's more convenient. Also, it fits my size (5'2) better.
 
I got a 35cm last year and a 30cm this year. I am 5 feet 2 and I prefer my 30cm. It is lighter and easier to carry it around. My 35cm seems to bang my car, the walls and people. I will now only use my 35cm when I travel.
 
I have 40s and 35s. I find the 30 cm too small. It looks as though it is lost on me. I am 5 feet 6 inches and I am a medium size. (HAHAHA--I am feeling fatter these days due to lack of exercise.)
 
You can easily wear either, try them both on and decide, I am taller than you (5'7) and I prefer 35cm. Have fun taking your time and use the pics for inspiration! Lots to see.
 
I'm 5', and most of mine are 30s. I find that 30s are more proportional to my height. But it's very subjective. The best thing is for you to try both on and find what's most comfortable for you.
